When I open a new tap Firefox tries to open a non existant address how can I change this please
When I try to open a new tab I get this: Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www.[r;;iåvÞyevq¾qîx»òki.com.
Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Solved thanks very much
Hi Tylerdowner. Whilst you indeed solved my problem perhaps you can help again as when I open a new tab I do not get my home page but a mixture of 9 of the last pages I have been to. Can I set it so that I just get my google home page? Thanks for any help you can give. Les
Follow the directions I gave you before, but instead of clicking "reset", click "Modify". Put in www.google.com
Solved again. Many thanks you are a diamond

Hats off to Tylerdowner for sharing such an easy-to-follow solution for this weird issue. Yes, it works greatly. I got rid of that strange thing by following Tylerdowner's kind guidelines. Once again, thanks a million for this real time support. Cheers :)
to change tab url address do the following: 1)type about:config in search box (make sure do not type about.config) and press enter 2)scroll down & find the string called browser.newtab.url & double click on it 3)type in the desired url address you want your tab to open 4)click the ok button & go to new tab & open it.it should open up your desired address.
